After the challenges I shared with you and more that I didn't, I've reached a
reasonably satisfactory state. I say that because I think I'm finally at the
hardware/firmware level. The hardware: KatADC in Z-Doc 0 of a ROACH-1. 800
MHz at 0 dBm going in to clk. The firmware: from the tutorial. Likewise the
Python script. Latest kernel, filesystem and borphserver2 from
wiki/LatestVersions. Can anyone suggest what may be wrong and what I should
try next? Is there a script for verifying the clock, for instance?
Thanks and regards,
Tom
